The Servant of the Lord in Israel born
Meant to be a beacon to the earth
Full of hope and light; and yet forlorn
Groaning in the hope of virgin birth.
Jacob failed the covenant and lost
The freedom which he scorned for other loves.
Now Son of David, come and pay the cost
Where Jacob failed, you are more than enough.
You came as Lord that Israel be restored.

Day two of the May Sonnet Challenge (a month later....). This is a sonnet petit, referencing Isaiah 49.
